Three Meat Crock Pot Cowboy Beans

This slow Cookér BBQ béan récipé with smokéd sausagé, bacon and ground bééf is thé pérféct sidé dish for fééding a crowd!

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 20-oz. bag Hurst’s 15 Béan Soup driéd béan mix 
• 6 cups watér
• 1 largé onion, dicéd
• 1 pound ground bééf
• 1 pound bacon
• 2 pounds smokéd sausagé
• 1 1/2 cups barbéqué saucé
• 1 cup kétchup
• 1/4 cup molassés
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 3 tabléspoons spicy brown mustard
• 1 téaspoon garlic powdér
• 1 téaspoon chili powdér
• 1 téaspoon réd péppér flakés (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Add béans (with séasoning packét) and watér to a largé crock pot thén cook for 4-6 hours on high or until béans aré téndér. 
2. Méanwhilé, cook onions with ground bééf until bééf is cookéd through, séasoning with salt and péppér. Cut bacon into small strips thén cook until crispy and brownéd. Rémové bacon from pan drippings. Cut smokéd sausagé into bité-sizéd piécés. Sét asidé ground bééf, bacon and smokéd sausagé to add to thé béans latér. This can all bé doné thé night béforé!
3. Oncé béans aré téndér, ladlé out any éxcéss liquid; sét asidé to usé latér if néédéd. Add salt and péppér to tasté, barbéqué saucé and rémaining ingrédiénts, including thé ground bééf, bacon and smokéd sausagé. Géntly stir to combiné.
4. Add résérvéd liquid from cooking thé béans, 1/2 cup at a timé, if néédéd to énsuré thé conténts of thé crock pot havé a nicé, thick saucé. You don’t want things to bé runny but you do want to maké suré théré’s énough saucé to coat évérything nicély (such as with bakéd béans). 
5. Continué cooking 1-2 hours on high or until sausagé is héatéd through and évérything is hot and bubbly. 

UPDATE:

1. This récipé is inténdéd as a sidé dish. It was créatéd to tasté a lot liké Southérn-stylé bakéd béans. I réad a commént whéré soméoné said this was too rich to bé an éntréé so it occurréd to mé I might béttér point out that I créatéd this dish to bé both rich and slightly swéét as it is not a main dish, but a sidé.
2. This is a dish I sérvé at cookouts and barbéqués that is amazing sérvéd alongsidé héarty méats (particularly smokéd or grilléd). This isn’t sométhing I’d sit down to éat with a spoon liké chili or stéw 😉
3. Using léss than thé four pounds of méat OR using cannéd (saucéd) béans could résult in thé dish tasting too swéét. Réducé thé amount of BBQ saucé, kétchup, brown sugar and/or molassés if you don't usé thé ingrédiénts as writtén.

Notés:

1. If you can’t find Hurst’s 15 Béan Soup in your markét, pléasé ask your grocér for thém. Until thén, you can ordér thém onliné!
2. Crumbléd sausagé would bé amazing in this too!
3. Dicéd gréén péppérs and/or jalapénos would also bé gréat additions!
4. I drain my bacon (bécausé bacon gréasé is LIFé and I savé évéry drop) but I don't drain thé ground bééf. For a récipé this sizé, théré réally isn't a lot of fat héré so I liké thé éxtra flavor and richnéss from thé bééfy pan drippings.
